    I'm looking for a region free Bluray player. I realise they're quite difficult to come across. I don't want to break the bank, but I'd consider whatever options you present me with. Cheers.

    Actually, do you sell Region A players? I want to import US Blurays, but I suppose it doesn't have to be region free as I already have a PS3. Thanks.

    Hi Right Turn Clyde.

    Unfortunately at the moment there are no region free for Bluray at all.
    Only one we ever could get was a cambridge one priced at over £600.

    Sony did do one multi region for DVD but they released an update and it wiped them all back to UK only.

    None of the well known manufacturers seem to product one.

    Sorry I could not be of more help on this one.

    Just to add a small note of caution guys - if you are purchasing MR Bluray check in advance that they will survive any firmware upgrades - lots of modded Br's will revert to their native region if you apply a firmware upgrade - so if you are shopping around make sure you get a confirmation that they will stay MR if the Firmware is updated.

    Thanks again,

    ATVB,

    Thanks for the cautionary advice. I think the best option is just to import a Region A player.
